Lake Osborne is an ideal start for those who want to see a variety of forest and moorland. The walk comes through a rainforest, woodland, and open moorland leading you to the lake which is fringed with King Billy Pine.
how to get there
The National Park is 84 km south-west of Hobart, drive on the Southern Outlet, following the signs to Huonville and Geeveston. In Geeveston turn right to the Arve Road. A sign marks the turn-off to the National Park. Drive to the end of the road which is named Hartz Road, there you will see the start of the walk.

One of the most wonderful landscape experiences I have ever had and I have been reduced to tears only on a handful of occasions. Highly recommended as an arrival point (to be there as I was once whilst it was snowing) and as a journey. The flora changes within yards almost - just wonderful.
